singletoon··on Python Is Eating the World
Correct me if i 'm wrong, isn't this one 'for' loop with 3 nested 'if' conditions ?
singletoon··on Ask HN: What open source project, in your opinion, has the highest code quality?
Laravel is incredibly well crafted and documented, one of the highest quality OSS projects ever, IMHO.
singletoon··on Quantum computers will break the encryption that protects the internet
This is no news for the academia, more particularly for theoretical mathematicians. It's a well known fact that RSA and all other cryptography methods based on basic number theory results, will become useless with the appropriate usage of QC. Mathematicians have already suggested that non-commutative group-based cryptography is the appropriate solution to this issue. Yet, there's no ideal group that seems to be the right fit, for the proper implementation of these new, secure algorithms. The braids group used to be an ideal example, until it was found to be linear, thus heavily exposed to linear-based type of attacks. So, the only part that remains unsolved is which group could be ideally defined to support the theory that addresses this issue. Mathematicians are already aware of this challenge, perhaps this post by The Economist suggests that more funding should be given for the according research.
singletoon··on Ask HN: What tools do you use to automate your business?
I 've built a custom ERP system, with Laravel & SQlite, to keep track of all my clients' details, their hosting plans, domain providers and all other piece of information I need. It sends automated emails when a hosting/domain has to be renewed, as well as providing valuable info about my servers. There's definitely space for further improvements, but up to now it gets the work done, beautifully.

singletoon··on How I Made My Own iPhone in China [video]
One of the very best documentaries I 've ever watched. My most favorite part on describing modern Chinese culture : the need to replace the logic board, and the seller's reaction : 'legit'. In China people still are, indeed, very honorable.
singletoon··on Ask HN: What is the best Linux distro for a development laptop?
Arch Linux. 3 good reasons for that :

-builds upon a minimal stack of software, letting you create the environment of your own needs

-rolling distribution, meaning your system is always up to date

-the greatest package manager across linux distros : pacman!

singletoon··on Germany Considers Fining Facebook $522,000 per Fake News Item
How about users from elsewhere spreading news about Germany ? Seems not like a question of orientation, but more like a topic-filtering action.
